"Auntie, how can you be so foolish? Of course, I want your life. Only by causing Su Wan imnse pain can I feel even the slightest bit of joy." Lin Xini coldly sneered, her face still appearing pure and innocent.
Zhang Che drew out the Peach Wood Sword and shouted coldly, "Lin Xini, you're courting death! Let her go!"
Lin Xini had unexpectedly taken my mother hostage, her fingers tightly gripping my mother's neck, "Uncle Zhang Che, you've got it wrong. I'm already dead, rely residing in my sister's body. How can the dead seek death?"
My heart leaped to my throat, and I quickly stepped up to Zhang Che's side, whispering, "Uncle Zhang, Lin Xini has a Forbidden Woman's sorcery carved into her palm. No matter how fast you strike, she can instantly kill my mother."
"I see, I never expected the Lin Family to nourish a tiger to their own detrint, keeping a treacherous disaster by their side." Ice-cold frost filled Zhang Che's eyes, his tightly clenched knuckles turning ashen, reflecting his deep concerns.
I took a deep breath and said to Zhang Che, "Uncle Zhang, if you can trust , let
handle this matter."
"Okay," Zhang Che nodded slightly.
My icy gaze fell on Lin Xini, "Lin Xini, you persistently claim to seek revenge for Lin Gang. Holding my mother hostage does you no good. Your target is ; let
switch places with her."
"Wrong, Su Wan, if my target was you, I wouldn't have waited until now to make a move." Lin Xini's face was full of mockery, "Over these days at the Lin Family, I had nurous chances to kill you, a weakling who knows nothing."
I struggled to suppress the tearing and anxiety in my heart, maintaining a calm deanor, "So it is directed at Yu Longting. Since you did not harm
but were waiting in hiding for an opportunity. You were actually waiting for Yu Longting to co to the Lin Family, waiting for him to be gravely injured. That would be the perfect ti for you to strike. Am I right?"
"I didn't want to reveal myself, but Xuanjing, Lin Gang, Su Qiang—those useless ones—couldn't even handle a dead snake with dispersed cultivation, forcing
to take action myself." Lin Xini seed confident of her victory, her crimson lips curving into a seductive smirk, her laughter ringing out like sleigh bells, "Su Wan, I want to see you kill Yu Longting with your own hands, causing his soul to scatter and never find peace!"
I couldn't comprehend Lin Xini's approach. "What... what are you saying?"
"Crush Yu Longting's Life Token, obliterate him, and I will let your mother go. Do you really want to watch your own birth mother die for a Demon Snake?" Lin Xini's fingertips lightly traced my mother's face, her lips curling upwards.
I bit my lip hard, "I can't, I can't bear to see my mother die—not even at the cost of my own life." I lowered my eyes towards Yu Longting, gazing at his pale face, "Didn't you disdain
before, never considering
one of your own, wishing deeply for a death you couldn't et? Let your wish be fulfilled this ti."
"Yu Longting, perhaps this is fate, ti and again letting you die at the hands of a Su family mber."
Seeing this, Lin Xini's excitent grew, but she gradually tightened her grip, completely suffocating my mother, her eyes bulging out in pain.
Unable to utter a sound, tears continuously stread down her face.
"To die at the hands of my wife, I am willing; you want to die at the hands of your beloved, but have no partner." Yu Longting's eyes overflowed with a mischievously gentle smile, his fingertips delicately brushing the ring finger of my hand, the hidden Snake-shaped Ring barely visible, "My wife, I am willing to die for you."
"I am about to kill you, yet you boast endlessly, not hating
at all. Is there a more foolish snake than you?"
I lifted my other hand to gently touch Xiao Honghong's little head peeking from my sleeve, my eyes steadfastly focused on my mother stepping towards the Ghost Gate, my voice trembling, "One last question, Lin Xini, how did you know the Life Token of Yu Longting was with ?"
Yu Longting had placed sothing so critical in my care.
This was supposed to be a deep secret, unknown to anyone else!
"I overheard your mother convincing Lin Huan to accept Yu Longting, ntioning Yu Longting had even given you his Life Token," Lin Xini sneered coldly, starting to count down, "I give you three seconds, one, two..."
